I’m really struggling about whether I am being abused or just being a mug...
My partner and I have been together for just over two years and have a four month old son together. He has always had a short and hot headed temper but I’ve always ignored it, however recently it has got worse, much worse... he even got angry at a traffic light the other day!! I feel like I’m constantly treading on egg shells and I dread his days off from work. My family have started only visiting when he is at work and my friends won’t even visit at all as he makes them feel so unwelcome/uncomfortable.
He gets so angry at the littlest thing and doesn’t seem to care if it upsets me - he totally spoilt his daughters first Christmas as my brothers dog dared to bark at his dog!! Now my family are being awkward towards me.
He puts the dog before me and my daughter... he allows it on the sofa etc when he knows daughter has an allergy of it and means I will have to clean everything in a room before the baby can come in - now we just spend most of our time in the bedroom away from him which doesn’t seem to bother him!!
He constantly makes raciest remarks towards other people as he knows it upsets me.
He rarely helps out with housework and never does anything for baby!!
I scared of him but I’m more scared that if I leave him he will take our daughter away from me... his family live far away and have a lot more money for solicitors etc than my family - even if I can offer the more stable and loving environment by far!!
